Martin James Phillips was in the Army over in India we know very little about
him or Selvanayagam except that they had a son (Albert). Martin and Albert are
on the 1881 English census but without Selvanayagam. By this time Martin had
remarried (Bedelia) and had another son (James) and were living in Liverpool.
Any help on filling in the missing pieces in our Anglo Indian family history
would be greatly appreciated. Margaret Wright mfamous5@aol.com

Betty PHILLIPS married Harold
TURNER;I think Harold was a school teacher. I
have conflicting information on this family, but this is what I think the story
is (I’d be happy to be corrected on this information). I also recall my mother
talking about a Betty Philips? I understand Harold and Betty had 2 Children a
boy and a girl:

Jackie Turner (as far as my story goes is a Bishop in
Calcutta)?

Isobel Turner who married. I do not know her married surname,
sadly died young, she had two children 2 girls Virginia and Margaret both girls
unmarried? I’m sorry about the details and information I have on this family,
but I would be grateful for contacts or any corrections, or other details or
information, to keep the record straight?

My mother was born in Calcutta in 1920 to Marie
C. Thurman HOOD
(daughter of Catherine O'Connor-Byrne and
Edgar Moore HOOD)
and a Mr. PHILLIPS (first
name unknown). Her mother had a second husband named Edgar Moore Hood.
My mother took Mr. Hood's name. She has a half-sister Valentine
HOOD who lives in the U.S. and a half-brother
named Edgar Thurman HOOD
who was adopted-out while he was still an infant. Their mother Marie C.
Thurman Hood died two weeks after giving birth to her son. My mother
and sister have no idea what happened to their brother. The adoption was
private and apparently there are no records. My mother attend school near
Darjeeling in Kalimpong at the convent school of St. Joseph D'Cluny. We
would love to find someone who might have known her family or have
some idea what happened to her brother. We can be reached at dlcpdt@earthlink.com.
I appreciate any assistance. Priscilla
